You'll run, jump, climb, push, pull and rinse and repeat; it feels at times like each mechanism has just been potato-printed onto a different environment
Even with AI difficulty set to Easy, prepare to lose more than your fair share of matches, and you'll probably give up playing long before you've put in enough time to become a master of the game
There are no 'reused assets' here; everything is unique, and because of that, the game never feels repetitive and there's always something new waiting around the corner

It's unfair to say that Act It Out! isn't fun; it did provide plenty of entertainment – but then, a game of charades generally provides entertainment by itself
It's clear a lot of TLC has gone into sprucing up the console version of Sparkle 2 to make it, well… extra sparkly
The puzzles are incredibly well thought-out and varied. Of course there are the obligatory hidden object puzzles.. but these are bolstered by much more brain-intensive puzzles that really do require you to think

…it’s plain to see that Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse is a deep and instantly inviting adventure
More than just a case of survival, Sheltered pushes you to grow and eventually thrive, and the moment your little unit starts to become somewhat self-sufficient, you’ll feel a real swell of pride
Republique tries to do something different… it's got a few hooks to keep you playing; eager to find out more about Hope and her strange surroundings
